Lawton-Tanikawa West-East Vascular Neurosurgery Course 2025: “The Last Samurai”
12 – 14 March 2025
Arizona – USA
Welcome to the Fourth Annual Lawton-Tanikawa West-East Vascular Neurosurgery Course 2025, led by course directors Michael T. Lawton, MD, and Rokuya Tanikawa, MD. This didactic and practical course in neurosurgical approaches and vascular anatomy will focus on complex cerebrovascular pathology and advanced surgical techniques such as bypass.
The hands-on laboratory exercises will cover anterior and lateral regions of the brain and skull base. This course is designed for neurosurgery residents, fellows, and vascular neurosurgeons.
Beyond the surgical anatomy and approaches, this course will highlight the strategic thinking of two of the most experienced vascular neurosurgeons in practice today. This full two-day course is designed for intense instruction among 32 participants.
Features include 3D microanatomical videos and 3D operative videos of cerebrovascular and tumor pathology to make the cadaver dissections come alive, using preserved cadavers with vascular injection. Each station will have state-of-the-art instrumentation and microscopes with masters at the head station to demonstrate.
